Opening Words: Women build friendships. Men build statues.

Plot: Buster Hadfield tries to jump-start his barbecue, only to blow the roof off his garage and right into the lake. Red tries to convert the roof into a boat, because it floats and doesn't leak. They try to make this boat into the lodge's first fan boat. But when it doesn't go anywhere, Moose Thompson tries to crank up the gas. The fan boat was stuck on a sandbar, and it blew a billboard right into town square and crushed a statue of Ezra Banger, the first man in the Possum Lake area to wangle a government grant. Now Red is forced to build a new replacement statue. The lodge members try various materials to make the statue, first stone, then steel. But both plans fail miserably. They eventually decide to use their fan boat as a statue, pointing the fan out towards Possum Lake. As the mayor owns a sailboat, Red hopes to get him out on the water more so that he won't make as many stupid decisions.
